Guess My Stash Contest Winner!

First of all thank you to all of you who entered! I did not think i'd get this many people interested especially since it was only a week long contest! So here is what all of you have been waiting for the total in the original contest picture is :

1393 Bottles

So therefore the closest guess was from reader Destiny Pingle. She's got a pretty cool blog you can check out here. Destiny's guess was 1392 which I have to say is pretty damn close! I did a guess myself and i guessed 1336. hah boy was i way off! Thank you all for your guesses and for making this fun!

After I package up the prize I will have a total of 1390 bottles since I bought a few last week. So only 10 away from 1400!

Below is a picture of the polish all nicely sorted and I'm surprised I was able to sort them all and count them in the week I gave myself since this was something I've been wanting to do for a while now! Also i took a few close ups of the drawers if you wanna to check them out have a look and they can be blown up by clicking on them.

Last thing if you have not entered my 400 follower giveaway there is still time to do so. there is a link for it on the right hand side.

So Rainbowtastic!

This is a look at how I counted them, believe me I triple checked each drawer, Putting them out in groups of 5 really made the job easy.

Also having a huge stash myself...I am curious where you manage to store your bottles in their plastic bins? I have hinged covered Rubbermaid bins (shown on their web site but not sold there for some reason - I find mine at RiteAide and another drugstore sometimes...they have a really nice height to the top so you gain more height space than the ones that fit with a flat top...also these I find are more sturdy. I keep mine now in a cabinet out of any direct sun. But I am running out of room and going to have to find a new place to stash some. I have too many for a Helmer or a Melmer. I might sell some of my quilts I am not using anymore and then use that space for more polish Rubbermaid boxes.

Memee these are helmer drawers. This all fits into three helmers and i have two drawers that are filled with random nail stuff , I love the helmers because they don't take up much room and they fit all my polish away and it's all nicely hidden. i've included a picture so you can see how little space it takes up, i've also heard of a few stacking helmers on top of each other which i could see working. how much polish do you have? heh you should send me a stash pic! heh good luck on figuring out your storage issues, i know it can be stressful when you out grow your current situation i've been there before and had to upgrade a few times : ) ! i'm hoping i can contain myself to the three helmers i have but we'll see!
